Corduroi continues to release new music, as he and anyone else should, and this is yet another EP from this electronic music genius-in-the-making, and this one is definitely apt, as he wants you to listen to his Future Adventures (Mush).
First and foremost, the cover art for Future Adventures reminds me of the series of environments albums from the 1970′s which featured nothing but natural sound, and you had the option to play the record at 33, 45, or 78 in order to experience the sound differently with each listen. You could do that with these songs electronically, as this will not be released on vinyl. If you make your own dub plate/acetate and feel like doing it that way, be my guest.
What you want to know about though is the music. If you’ve heard him in the past, he delivers in the best way he knows how, with a nice mixture of real playing with borrowed sounds for samples. I say “nice” mixture because each one compliments each other, he’s not someone who just adds samples to take away from his weak playing, or plays incredibly and adds samples just to sound “fashionable”. The “adventures” aspect is very much here, so whether you use this music to dance to, chill out, or get deep for whatever reason, this EP definitely will set the mood for all forms of audio entertainment.
I may have said this before, but while I would welcome a full length, in order to hear what he does in that context, I like his sensibilities towards creating an EP. Short and sweet, but enough to keep you wanting to play this along with his previous work. - This Is Books Music |
